Recently, there have been cough assist machine prototypes made that vary from the standard models that require a power supply. These machines don’t need power to work. They’re operated by pumping with your foot. They’re not in the U.S. market yet, but their development indicates that s...
The Cough Assist E70 combines these concepts. We compared standard airway clearance with the E70 in 5 patients (2M, 3F, age 19–35). All had a diagnosis of CF and a typical cough (FEV1 range 0.8–1.59 L). Implementation of this device was in response to chest wall discomfort on ...

Cough assessment is central to the clinical management of respiratory diseases, including tuberculosis (TB), but strategies to objectively and unobtrusively measure cough are lacking. Acoustic epidemiology is an emerging field that uses technology t
OLE therapy has been proven to deliver clinical and economic outcomes in acute care settings1. Recently published research in the Journal of American College of Surgeons involving a 419-patient, two-phase multicenter study1 showed ...
This method may assist with individualized respiratory isolation management and targeted drug susceptibility testing in resource-limited settings. KQ 6: Is There a Difference In Cough Duration Between Patients Treated With Drug-Sensitive Cavitary Disease vs Drug-Sensitive Noncavitary Pulmonary TB? Only 73...
Mechanical insufflation鈥揺xsufflation (MI-E) is a technique to assist cough, however the method becomes particularly challenging when bulbar involvement is present. We showed in a previous study that collapse of supraglottic laryngeal structures during insufflation could explain some of these treatment...
Behavioral exercises and behavioral medications may be administered short or long term, as required, to help animals recover. Shelters are encouraged to seek assistance from qualified animal and veterinary behaviorists who can assist them in meeting these needs. ...
